You monsterWas wondering why I couldn't see Gris, and then I remembered:
Good regional price, beautiful art, and it's releasing on Steam... bought.
It's very short, But I will probably spend more going out to see Aquaman today.
That's a clear abuse of the Anime exclusion feature :(Was wondering why I couldn't see Gris, and then I remembered:

I can agree with almost everything except for Metroidvania

It is funny to me that GOG offers all of those games on GOG Connect but 3+years later Witcher 3 is not one of them XD

A+ Journalism.
"People paid for exclusive releases about Epic Games Store say good things about Epic Games Store".
What were they expecting ?
"We got paid but it's a bad place to buy games, despite our game being only sold there."
Maybe Epic should start by improving itself, not being worse than Origin at launch...
Library manager that unifies all games from different launchers (and emulators). It still opens the original launcher (except GOG) but well...

The latest AMD driver seems to be so awesome. If any of you got an AMD card, you should consider checking it out.
Release notes
Edit: The thing I don't like is that Polaris cards do not feature auto-oc or auto-uv like Vega cards do.

Almost every popular games site has published an article that describes the Epic Store and Epic's moneyhatting as a great thing for PC Gaming. Not a single editor has been criticizing Epic for bring paid store exclusivity to PC; they even call it 'necessary' to 'compete' against Steam.
I really can't understand this. How is keeping games away from the best and most popular platform on PC good for competition? Why do they believe that a console-like war between stores will benefit PC gamers? Is this only about Steams 30% or are there other reasons why these editors think Steam needs to be punished?
All of what we heard is more like "We want to put our games on Steam, but we want to force them to adapt a better revenue share." Thats what the Rebel Galaxy thing was, thats what this post kinda feels like.
But so far every dev has decided to pretend this has major benifits to consumers as well.
Between Supergiant saying a store with no feedback mechanisms is the best way to developer an early access game closely with consumer.
To Team Meat and Rebel Galaxy pretending this has nebulous benifits to consumers as a fact without any arguments supporting it.
It showed up for R$31 here in Brazil. It's definetely a buy. Downloading right now
And Coffee Stain literally saying Epic's money is the major reason to go Epic Store exclusive in their Q&A on Youtube.
Playnite is good but it's been doing my tits in with Mutant Year Zero, it just doesn't detect it's running so doesn't track the playtimeLibrary manager that unifies all games from different launchers (and emulators). It still opens the original launcher (except GOG) but well...

Is the Auto-Undervolt feature available to Fury cards at least? Finally I can ditch my ridiculous Undervolt curves and power limit increase.
Do you really care for all the free games you got through GoG or is it more for the record?
I'm interested very, very rarely in them and I've trouble enough playing the games I really want, so that I wouldn't want to claim a game, just because it's free.

Only Vega cards, at least for now :/ hoping they enable it for older architectures
Is Steam at least detecting playtime? Losing playtime in Playnite might be alright if Steam at least picks up my playtime.
... Can it read in my playtimes that I already have on Steam?
This $60 trash is worse than f2p as I mentioned on multiple occasions :)
Yeah no. If you go to sleep 1 h before 8h sale ends then if it's not work day you miss one out of 3 automatically. Of course you can set up alarm clock to wake up earlier and get those 3 cards like totally not a nutjob.
Oh neat, guess I'll have to add it to my wishlist. I thought primal was just a clunky copy of farcry # whatever
It is indeed a mystery. Whatever the reason, customers are generally better off fighting for their rights themselves instead of relying on big sites that by necessity have to maintain a close working relationship with publishers and developers.
For all the old homies in here. Went to Walgreens and they actually had Yerba Mate. I mean it's canned and not the legit thing. But I can finally try it.
Fake Edit: not bad. Rather different than I was expecting.

Either they are paid off, extremely ignorant, or we truly have no more consumer advocates in the higher tiers of game-writing.
My best guess is this: Steam is not perfect.
The forums are toxic (but you don't have to use them), there are a lot of bad games there (but you don't have to buy them....or look at them), things simply aren't perfect in good ol'Valve land.
So obviously some competition is needed to kick Valve's ass so they finally do something! Even if the competition.....doesn't actually feature any of those things. There is no "better" curation in the Epic Store right now because the store is way too young to even speak of curation. And you can't have toxic forums if you don't have forums at all. Or (if Epic has forums) if they haven't been in the spotlight time and time again like Valve's admittedly garbage-ass forums are.
I'm not saying all those people are idiots who think Epic having a store with an exclusive Team Meat game will lead to Valve cleaning up the forums but there's been a lot of negativity around Valve and Steam lately so the "Now that there is competition they have to step it up" line of thought makes....some sense as long as you don't actually look at the problems that plague Steam.
At least they're honest and I don't feel they're insulting my intelligence :D
Hey i bought Far Cry Primal in the last Steam Sale! Been too busy with Hitman and i forgot. Will try it this weekend.
At least they are honest. That's really the thing that's annoying me. You think you can make more money on Epic's store? Go for it, do what you have to do. But don't give me some wishy-washy "Best for everybody blahblah competition blahblah exciting new ventures" crap. Just say "We hope to make more money there" and that's a perfectly fine and reasonable answer, really.
If I made a game right now and came to the conclusion that I am going to make more money over at Epic's of fucking course I would do that. That's fine. But say it how it is.
The main thing i see in all these devs mentioning epic store are innovate etc. Half of steams fucking api is innovative magic that nothing else compares too. Every computer is different. Third party controllers etc. Good luck using half them controllers on epic or origin etc. Yet on steam they will work easily
Fuckinh feels like don mattrick and aaron greenberg spin has spilled to devs
